I have a 97 WS6, how far(if at all) can i safely lower the car without causing problems.......if i do lower the car anyone got pics or suggestions for kits? I was told lowering is a no-no with hooker long tubes

 

Most people can get away with lowering and LTs. The less you lower the better it will be. Stay around a 1-1.5" drop and go SLOW over speed bumps. HTH

 

I have Hooker Lt's and a Mufflex Y-pipe. Speed bumps are not the major problem. If speed bumps look too big, go around them. My problems are big dips, and uneven roads in Texas. I do not reccomend lowering if your roads are like mine.

 

your kidding me? You better get 20's son, otherwise SCRAPPPEEE . I'll probobly end up lowering mine but before I'm getting a diferent exhaust setup. Mufflex Y is f'in trash.

 

I have DMS lowering springs on my car with FLP Long Tubes. I never have a problem with scraping. But there are some larger than normal speed bumps that may get me. The DMS Springs really only took about an inch off my ride hight. They work great.

I ran the Hotchkis 1" lowering springs and hooker longtubes. NEVER had a problem, but I also paid a pretty penny for a very nice offroad custom ypipe. My exhaust guy got the ypipe very close to the bottom of the car. just aim for the middle of the speed bump, where it splits . That is where the middle of your car should go. If I would go actually over the bump I would some times scrape.

 

If you have/get LTs, get a good custom y-pipe made. I haven't lowered my car, but after installing Jet Hot LTs, and a custom y-pipe, WITH a cat, my ground clearance changed VERY little.
Pics are in my sig.

 

F UCK SPEED BUMPS!

 

I already have the hooker long tubes and i just ordered the mufflex y-pipe with o2 bungs....does anyone have pics of Trans ams with lowering kits with the same setup as me?
